new to forun need alittle help

[401bay]

just got the Auto Exe front rear sway bars AWR end links RPM .5 lowering springs and Bilstein shocks installed last week. car is amazing. no more of that boaty feel and the handling is amazing. With the links and sway bars i now have ZERO body roll but the rear end tries to come out a little bit more. dont know if it because i push it harder in the corners 5.gif or just the nature of the beast. So far I can not complain. My question is After the shop installed everything they did a alignment. I do not have the spec sheet.will try and get it. This car is some what of a daily driver with no track use. My question is what should i be looking for as far as caster camber and toe are concerned. preserving my tires would be a major concern for me. the first set (factory) second set (pirelli pzero neros) all seemed to where bald on the out side edges in the front and the rear seemed fine. my car is now lowered .5 inch. any advice would be a great help. thanks

There is a great deal of discussion about alignment specs here. That post should really be stickied because there is so much useful information there.

Sounds like your front wheels need less camber (more negative). There is a lot of discussion about this in the link above.

Unfortunately, there is no factory adjustment for front camber, so you'll need to look to the aftermarket if you want to add this capability. The most popular choice are SPC adjustable ball joints. Also, Fulcrum Suspension is supposed to make eccentric A-arm bushings that add camber and caster adjustment. I don't know if anyone has tried their product yet; discussion can be found here:
